Green Scramble Eggs

OK, so the eggs themselves aren’t green, but I love adding spinach to my eggs when I scramble them. It’s a wonderful flavor combination, if you’ve never tried it, you should.

Green eggs would also make a wonderful breakfast, or brunch. You can make it even healthier by only using the egg whites, using an egg substitute, or tofu.

I usually have green eggs over a slice of whole grain toast. It’s a wonderful way to get your children to eat a little spinach. The spinach flavor doesn’t overpower, and you can tell them they’re pretending to be the Dr. Seuss character Sam I Am.

To make green eggs for one I saute a couple tablespoons of yellow onion, in a tablespoon of olive oil. Throw in a handful (or two) of fresh spinach leaves, then add 2 eggs (or 4 egg whites) and scramble it all together.

You can also use frozen spinach, just get as much of the extra water out as you can before you cook it.
